[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9305619, member: 42582"] I had a lot of Lego as a kid (in the late 70s and first half of the 80s), and built a lot of things with it. We had a Legoland Ideas book that we took inspiration from, and would build our own ideas as well: [URL]http://oldinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/1980-6000-1-Ideas-Book.pdf[/URL] I remember combining our castle and space stuff for a Star Wars/Micronauts/Flash Gordon vibe, and using our Technical Lego to build the monorail that linked various parts of the sci-fi installation. I still have all the instructions and boxes (cut up, so in flat cardboard form) - or most of them, at least - and most of the pieces (some got lost through holes in the skirting boards of my room and ended up beneath the house; or occasionally got vacuumed up and were not rescued before the vacuum rubbish went into the garbage bin). This was nothing to do with my parents. When - as an adult - I collected all my Lego from where my parents had it in storage, I was able to rebuild most of the sets, including the original castle: [MEDIA=youtube]3_N9z74PISs[/MEDIA] My kids played with my Lego when they were young, and added to the collection (especially via Friends sets). Now it is all in boxes again, waiting for the next generation! EDIT: According to this website - [URL]https://www.brickeconomy.com/sets/year/1978[/URL] - it retailed for about $72 back then. That seems broadly consistent with my understanding, even as a kid, that the big Lego sets were [I]not cheap[/I]. My guess would be that, at that time, my dad's salary was around $20,000 per year. (My mum didn't have paid employment at that time.) (This is all in Australian money.) [/QUOTE]
